Genetically modified food are a very controversial issue. On the one hand, we can make a lot of food in a small area, which is great for our expanding population. At the same time, genetically modified foods are creating “super-weed” since we can modify foods to resist weed growth, there are new strains of weeds that are resistant. Also, some genetically modified foods can lack nutrients, and not to mention they do not have to be labeled. You could be eating a genetically modified food right now.
